Dance right out on me
And She Danced Right Out On Me, Ray Scott
Dance around this frozen ground
N’ dance right out on me
Butterfly, twirl in the air
Spinning off your feet
Held your hand, and let you go
To float n’ fly above
I tried too hard to catch a spirit, in self-conscious love
When failing’s all I ever knew
And falling’s all I know
Your strength is independence
Your light’s now my remembrance
Your candles and your box of wine
Your soft, sweet, smilin’ brown eyes glowing
You’re a skating princess butterfly and you intrigued my mind
The weekends with you, kept me goin’
How I tried to make it last forever and much longer
All in all, the sculptures melt in small amounts of time
Like springtime in the bench of Jordan valley, in stone cellars
Sweet, Lea-Anne my butterfly
I wish I could’ve held myself together
In that space, between my floundering mouth and moody mind
I wish that I was stronger
You dance on ice
You’re free
You dance to music gracefully
You compel the band to play for you
And the dance floor and the ice rink needs you
I never realized how much that myself got in the way
I never loved myself enough until you slipped away
Skate on
Dance on
Fly
Fly away
Butterfly
Butterfly
The soft, dim lights through slight fog humming your name from the stage
Your energy keeps them all goin’
While the band’s about to play,
And she danced right out on me
